HOMECOMING
FRIDAY NIGHT
@ PARK
The real rivalry? It starts long before the game. Friday, we’re setting the stage for Howard vs. Morgan State with a night that’s guaranteed to be more legendary than any final score. Bison pride meets Bear swagger under one roof, where the drinks flow strong and the DJs keep the beats going harder than a fourth-quarter comeback. Whether you're repping HU or MSU, this is the pre-game party where school pride takes center stage—and maybe a little side-eye from across the room.

DAY PARTY@
the park at 14th
Howard Homecoming is back, and so is the ultimate day party at The Park at 14th. This is where alumni reunions meet all-day celebrations, and the only thing stronger than the cocktails is the nostalgia. Expect a crowd that looks as good as the vibes feel, DJs spinning tracks that make you forget tomorrow exists, and drinks flowing like you’ve got no responsibilities (at least until Monday). If you know, you know—and if you don’t, well, this is your chance to find out.

The Bison stampede isn’t slowing down just yet. We’re closing out Howard Homecoming with a party so epic, you’ll be talking about it long after the weekend’s over. Join us for the grand finale—where alumni reunions meet all-day vibes, and the only thing louder than the crowd is the DJ spinning tracks that keep the energy sky-high. Expect cocktails flowing like it’s still Saturday and a room full of Bison who know exactly how to finish Homecoming strong.
